The golden rule is to wash as seldom as possible and air frequently. We call this 'wind-washing', hang your garment out in the air and you will be amazed at how fresh it becomes. Never machine wash; they should be washed by hand using wool washing detergent and in cool water below 30 degrees Celsius. Always dry your jumper flat and never put in a tumble drier.

Check your garments occasionally to make sure that you don't have a moth or moisture problem. Perspiration and food stains attract moths. Brushing your jumper with a wool brush can loosen eggs, and simply popping your jumper into the freezer before you store it will kill them. Another tip is to store your sweater in a sealed clean plastic bag. This will prevent moths from attacking it.

If you feel that you need to wash your jumper, soak it in a cold hand wash liquid/powder for 3-5 minutes. Gently squeeze excess water off, never wring, twist or rub. To dry, roll the jumper in a towel to get rid of excess water. Pull into shape and dry flat.

Different Aran stitch patterns have their own meanings and histories. The Cable Stitch symbolizes fisherman's ropes and represents a wish for a fruitful day at sea. The Diamond Stitch signifies small farms throughout the island and some believe it represents wealth. The Trellis Stitch represents the stone walls of Ireland. The Blackberry Stitch has a link to religion, while the Moss Stitch is the symbol of nature all around us. The Honeycomb Stitch represents the hard-working bee, signifying the hard work of the fisherman.

Aran sweaters are deeply entrenched in Irish heritage, originally designed to protect the men while they were out at work. Now, they are a stylish piece of clothing reminiscent of days gone by for both Men and Women.
